This guy is a nit, like a super nit, at least from PF. Do I have to check fold? I guess so.

I was really happy with virtually all my session goals. Honestly, I think the ability to recognise dangerous spots early is absolutely vital.

Looking at my non-sd filter though, a couple that I'm not happy with. I just shouldn't be losing > 25 bbs without showdown, ever! At least without a sizemic board change.

Here's why I hate 4bet bluffing, and just much prefer having a wide 4bet value range OOP. At some point I'll have to do the maths comparing 4bet bluffing with 4bet calling 99-66, but my suspicion at least is that the latter is very superior in a lot of cases.

I just needed a much better plan on the flop, calling flop and then folding is criminal- I should have either just folded or had a much better idea of his tendencies allowing me to bluff him with last initiative at some point. I saw the ace as a golden card to shove, but if he's spaz potting KK or whatever then I really should just wait for a better spot.

These hands meant that my red line only scraped into profit.

So, 2 sessions down. 1 winning, 1 losing. My goals for session 3 are the same as before.
